According to The Miami Herald, Haitian civil rights groups have withdrawn their lawsuit against Grand Theft Auto: Vice City from federal court. And if you thought that was the end of this whole GTA controversy, it isn't; the groups' lawyer, Barry Silver, plans to move the suit to state court because he would like to argue the case under Florida law, which he says has more restrictions on freedom of speech than federal law. The lawsuit is expected to be refiled next week.

As you probably know, the original suit was filed against Rockstar Games, Take-Two, Sony, Wal-Mart and others because Haitians were outraged over Vice City's "Kill the Haitians" statement, and felt the game was a danger to society. Rockstar, since that time, agreed to remove the statement from future copies, and they were also permitted to move the case to federal court just recently.

So just to summarize: it started in state court, was moved to federal court by Rockstar, and now is about to be moved back to state court by the plaintiff. And around and around we go.
